  • Your first appointment at Kula Holistic Services in Calgary is a chance to feel welcomed, get comfortable and begin building a relationship with your practitioner. We’ll greet you, offer refreshments and welcome you into one of our treatment rooms.

    For counselling and therapy, we’ll spend time getting to know you, what brought you to seek support, your current concerns and your hopes for treatment. Together, we’ll explore relevant history and experiences that may contribute to your challenges. You can share at your own pace—you don’t need to tell your whole story in the first session. Your therapist will also explain confidentiality, its limits and the approach to care.

    For massage therapy and acupuncture, your practitioner will review your health history, current symptoms, previous injuries or treatments, and goals. An assessment helps guide care suited to your needs, whether you’re seeking support for pain, movement, stress, sleep or relaxation. Before treatment, your practitioner will explain the proposed approach, expected benefits, potential risks and alternatives, and ask for your consent. You can ask questions, request adjustments or stop treatment at any time.

    Together, we’ll begin developing a care plan that reflects your needs, preferences and goals. We’ll discuss what appointments may involve, recommended next steps and how we’ll review progress, so you know what to expect. Your plan can evolve as we learn what works for you.
